Hello,

=20

We are currently developing a set of Diameter interfaces and some doubts =
have arise, concerning SLF usage.

=20

On ETSI TS 123 228 (IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)) at section 5.8.1 =
(User identity to HSS resolution) it is suggested that a Public User =
Identity should be selected and used as input to SLF_QUERY, in order to =
resolve to the correct HSS name.=20

=20

Also at section 6.1.2 (S-CSCF registration/deregistration notification) =
of TS 129 228 (IP Multimedia (IM) Subsystem Cx and Dx Interfaces), it is =
suggested that if Routing Information is not available for SAR (S-CSCF =
registration/deregistration), it should be routed to next diameter node, =
for example SLF. =20

=20

The issue is that on TS 129 229 (Cx and Dx interfaces based on the =
Diameter protocol) at section 6.1.3 (Server-Assignment-Request (SAR) =
Command) the Public-Identity is presented as an optional attribute. If =
it is not present how should be SLF_QUERY performed? All the other =
messages (UAR, LIR, MAR) have Public-Identity as mandatory.

=20

Thanks in advance,

Paulo Rolo
